Crown Vic?? 

Nailed it! It was the colour that gave it away to me. I had tabs on this one for my own collection, really glad someone here got it. 

[ETCHY]

Fab.

Love the 85mph speedo.

Proper Yank barge motoring, brilliant !

[bunglebus]

Thought those 85MPH speedos went out at the end of the malaise era - mind you at 85 it'll be doing about 6MPG. Awesome wagon, I love it! 

[cort16]

Amazing! 

Turn up the volume, crank up the bass
Aww yeah, Vanilla Ice  HMC is in the place
I'm here to tell ya a little story 'bout my 5.0

'Cause I can red-line and leave you far behind

Because I'm out gettin' mine
And I'm sweatin' like steam and you can feel the flow
When I'm Rollin' in my 5.0

[Fabergé Greggs]

FUCK YEAH!! Can we have some hot video action plz. 

also, love the way those window switches look like early 80’s hifi. 

[dave j]

That's awesome! 

[dome]

You think you hate it now, wait til you drive it!

That is amazing

[scdan4]

You. Complete. Absolute. Winner.

 

[wuvvum]

Bloody hell, you're on a roll at the moment!

I had a '77 LTD wagon - remarkably similar styling despite being 13 years older.  That had the 400ci big block but was still slow as feck, like most late '70s Yanks.

Can i just say, this might explain, why America, has a reputation for shitness,  that is their car industry.  

I love it, whilst at the same time hating it's very existence.  The stupidity of Americans who got angry when Japanese cars were "killing" their home industry, when in reality, the executives who thought shit like that was acceptable to sell. 

Did I say,  I'd like to borrow it for a short holiday.  Perhaps attend a family wedding in it next year.  Especially if the American bit of the family come. A

[spartacus]

That's ace.

[BorniteIdentity]

I'm Kendal Jenner

 

I've got a Vagina.  I'm going to explore that right now.  etc. blah.

 

Edit:  For those not aware of the hit parade songs of 2018 - here are the lyrics from Chris Brown's Freaky Friday.

Pushes even this into second place.

I think it's also bigger than Wrexham. 

[eddyramrod]

Chicken Dinner for the man with the Proper Car!

Well done young man.

[Peter C]

That was on EBay a couple of days ago, I was looking at it, drooling.

Well bought. 

[eddyramrod]

Yes, it got as far as our Tat thread too.  I thought it was maybe slightly overpriced but was still something I would like.

That's lush, straight from a 70s American cop show kind of interior!

What IS the Kendal Jenner link @HMC?

[sdkrc]

I believe Kendal originally imported it in '97 and then had it MOTd

[Cookiesouwest]

Even my Mrs thinks this car is epic. I also mentioned your taxi purchase.

She immediately went on ebay to track some targets as an early birthday present

 

[MorrisItalSLX]

Oh boy.

That’s utterly tremendous.

1-59 and a random please.

[Mrs6C]

Now then, if @Sheldon doesn't sell his Edsel wagon, you could have a FoMoCo West Country Wagon jamboree down there....

Fantastic car. Well done!

[Macscrooge]

I’m guessing you were at that petrol station a while...  Awesomely awesome car.

Niiiice. 

It's a shame that it's lockdown. Otherwise I'd be inviting myself to visit.
